However,\u00a0 the reverse is less common. Thus, I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon a Chinese shop selling authentic Malay food.<\/p>\n<p>Nasi Dagang Kelantan Capital is run by a Chinese family from Kota Bharu. They have been operating in Kelantan for 9 years and opened in Petaling Jaya a month ago. I conversed with the owner, a Mr Foo, in Kelantanese Hokkien (Fujian dialect). The other option was to speak with him in Kelantanese Malay which sounded like Double Dutch to me.<\/p>\n<p>Served in waxed paper, this East Coast speciality originated from Southern Thailand. The rice is cooked with coconut milk, shallot, lemongrass and fenugreek. For the &#8216;lauk&#8217;, you have a choice of tasty beef rendang, curry chicken, prawn, squid or ikan tongkol (mackerel tuna).<\/p>\n<p>I tried the chicken with rice soaked in gravy (photographed here) and found the combo very delicious. The condiments include a slice of boiled egg, a big piece of anchovy, salad and sambal. For buka puasa (breaking of fast), you need to takeaway before 7pm as the shop closes by that time.<\/p>\n<p>Capital Restaurant is at 29 Jalan 21\/1A, Damansara Utama (Uptown).<\/p>\n<p>Olympus OM-D, ISO 200, f5, 1\/60 sec.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7383\" title=\"Capital Nasi Dagang Kelantan\" src=\"http:\/\/www.tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital.jpg\" alt=\"Capital Nasi Dagang Kelantan\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital.jpg 1080w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital-113x113.jpg 113w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital-169x169.jpg 169w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital-450x450.jpg 450w, http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/nasi_dagang_kelantan_capital-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon a Chinese shop selling authentic Malay food&#8230; <a href=\"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/capital-nasi-dagang-kelantan\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1339,10,563,25,519,9],"tags":[1641,189,1180,1193,1194,1417,1195,1640,347,698],"class_list":["post-7382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-2","category-geography","category-instagram","category-news-commentary","category-omd","category-photography","tag-damansara-utama","tag-dining","tag-eating-out","tag-kelantan","tag-kelantanese","tag-local-food","tag-malay-food","tag-nasi-dagang","tag-restaurant","tag-rice"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7382"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7382\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7388,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7382\/revisions\/7388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/tvsmith.net.my\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
